“I’m not sure if it won’t be a disturbance during the class.”
“No, as you mentioned, if Princess Lilif is interested in the children’s upbringing, you are welcome to visit anytime.”
“There’s no parent who wouldn’t be interested. It’s genuinely a good educational environment, Lady Viscountess.”
Princess Lilif and Director Norgia.
After receiving the princess’s request, she was a bit surprised.
It was strange enough that Princess Lilif’s sudden interest was focused on the children, but what was even more peculiar was that she hadn’t mentioned her son’s story before.
Has the princess given up on her son? Or has she been impressed by seeing the continent’s only kindergarten?
“Princess Lilif, please wait here for a moment. The guide will be with you shortly.”
“Uh, Lady Viscountess. If allowed, may I freely look around?”
“Oh my, it would be nice if there were someone to guide you.”
“I appreciate the offer. However, as I mentioned, my status might be a hindrance to freely explore.”
Her face, as pretty as seen a few days ago, with not a trace of resentment visible even now. In this situation where not even a hint of lingering regret was shown, the director had no reason to question her actions.
So, the Viscountess Norgia, who allowed her to tour the kindergarten. When the princess, who had come out of the principal’s office, closed the door, her expression changed.
The well-crafted excuse went well, and now that the princess’s purpose was singular.
She carefully peered into the classrooms where lessons were being conducted.
Some classes were reading fairytales, some were doing crafts, and others were learning songs. The cheerful voices of children echoed.
When she followed the sound and looked at the nameplate on the classroom door, an adorable bird-shaped nameplate with ‘Sparrow Class’ written on it swayed.
Beyond the glass, children were singing happily in tune with the teacher’s piano.
It wasn’t difficult for her to spot the child she was looking for.
Black hair similar to her own mother’s and sparkling golden eyes resembling an unknown father’s.
The princess’s eyes sank coldly as she looked at the child.
‘Why go through so much trouble? It would be more advantageous for them to give up the Minister’s son than to present the Crown Prince anyway.’
Only after the marriage fell through, did the next most advantageous person, Lyon, become recognized and allowed by the father, who was the king.
It was no different from when he pushed for a marriage proposal with the Crown Prince when the victories of the empire’s war continued.
Still, she was happy.
It wasn’t that he considered his daughter’s feelings, but at least she could fulfill her dream of marrying someone she liked.
But now, the uncontrolled joy at that time turned into regret.
If only she had progressed through these things through the king, the noble princess wouldn’t have come to this point, trying to handle a child.
But now, this was just the beginning.
[Dash]Ding dong. Ding dong. Thud.Suddenly, the bell rang, and the sounds of children laughing and the classroom door opening were heard.
“…Who are you?”
“Ah, it’s Princess Lilif of the Kingdom of Farendell, who came for a visit to the kindergarten.”
‘Ah, I see.’
Although she had intended to simply refer to her as a guest, she inadvertently revealed her identity due to being deeply immersed in thought.
‘If she’s just a teacher working here, meeting a princess would be awe-inspiring. They’ll probably be overly courteous. Since I’ve found out, should I ask during break time?’
Looking at the petite and kind-looking Emily, the thoughts of Princess Lilif resurfaced.
However,
“Ah, yes. I’m a teacher. So, goodbye.”
“Wait a minute! Over there!”
“?”
Emily’s eyes showed no particular interest, being indifferent to both on and off situations. While Princess Lilif’s status was indeed high, from her perspective, a princess from another country, who wouldn’t be seen again, didn’t spark any interest. Besides, people of high status were now nauseating.
“How long is the break time?”
“Yes, the break time. It’s 20 minutes. Oh, 19 minutes left. Ah, next is the physical education class. Ah…”
Emily nervously tapped one leg. It was clear that she didn’t want to waste even a minute and was asking to be released quickly.
‘How can she be a kindergarten teacher with such an arrogant attitude…’
While the princess was enraged to the point where her lower eyelid trembled, the door suddenly opened, and a child bounced out.
Then,
“Emily Teacher! This is a butterfly. It’s a butterfly!”
“Oh my goodness! Oh my! Roy! How can it be! It’s such a beautiful flower that butterflies will come for! Take this and go show it off to your parents today~!”
“Yeah! Hehe~”
As soon as the classroom door closed again,
[Dash]Thunk.Who extinguished the fire on her face right now?
As the child entered the room again in an instant, a deserted wasteland was revealed in the sparkling eyes.
It felt like a scene cut abruptly.
And a very dry voice.
“Well, enjoy your tour. That’s it.”
“What, what. Such rudeness…!”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
